> It's possible to be vaccinated earlier if they are at risk for a severe case of Covid. They might want to consult with their doctor and would need some medical documents to backup the claim. Knowing that it is actually possible might help, so maybe tell them?
Thanks, but they (and supportive relatives) are 100% on it. It’s the speed of the roll-out in Germany that’s the issue.
- _Microft 6y agoDifferent federal states have already made use of 75% (Mecklenburg) to 95% (Thuringia) of the doses delivered to them, with most states being in the range of 83-87%. A part of the remaining doses is reserved for second shots and the remaining unused doses really must be because of inefficiences of some sort. Claiming that the speed of roll-out is slow when most federal states have already used more than 6 out of 7 doses that were delivered to them so far is surprising. https://impfdashboard.de https://impfdashboard.de
- mft_ 6y agoFair point: I'm wasn't seeking to differentiate between vaccine supply and operational efficiency. Ultimately, the end user has little insight into where the issue lies - but thanks for the dashboard link that clarifies this. So let's be more specific: the slow roll-out of vaccination in Germany seems to be related to failures in vaccine procurement and supply at a national and/or EU level. And this is why frail elderly people are still waiting... when less at-risk people in the UK have already been vaccinated.
